God shall supply all your need according to his riches and glory (Philippians 4:19). His ability to help you is not limited to the job market, the stock market, your health condition or your financial status. For 40 years he fed his people in the wilderness with manna from heaven. He sent ravens to deliver meat to Elijah during a famine, and he also fed 5000 people with a boy’s lunch. Paul writes, “God will generously provide all you need for yourself, and more than enough for every good cause, and to share with others” (2 Corinthians 9:8-11).

A scarcity mentality is rooted in fear, and shows distrust in the awesome power of God to supply all your needs according to his unlimited resources. It is based on the assumption that, if someone else has something, you can’t have it because there is only on pie and every slice that someone else gets means less is available for you. It makes you believe that the blessings of others come at you expense. It says “you win, I lose”. But that’s not the way to live the abundant life and you can change that.

Start today to reprogram your thinking. Remind yourself that you are not in competition with anybody, for anything, in any area of your life. Cling to the words of Jesus who says “I have come that you may have life, and that you may have it so abundantly” (John 10:10). Pray: Father help me to reject all thoughts of scarcity, and show me how to achieve my goals by sharing my time, talents, and treasures with others. Don’t read through without saying Amen, and also remember to share this message to others.

Premier Medical wishes you a happy and prosperous new month of September 2015. The lord is our strength, it’s about time you make him yours.

The 2015 edition of the world Hepatitis day will be celebrated on Tuesday July 28 under the theme: Prevent Hepatitis.‬ This year, the World Health Organization is focusing particularly on hepatitis B and C, which together cause approximately 80% of all liver cancer deaths and kill close to 1.4 million people every year.

According to a press release published on the official website of WHO, This year’s, flagship event takes place in Egypt, a country that has one of the world’s highest hepatitis burdens. It is estimated that 10% of the ‎population between 15 and ‎‎59 years is chronically ‎infected with hepatitis C. Between 2007 and 2014, more than 350 000 people with hepatitis C have been treated. Today, 32 dedicated treatment centres are providing treatment at the Government’s expense. Egypt is also highlighting hepatitis prevention, and WHO is helping the country develop national ‎blood safety standards and has selected ‎it as one of 3 pilot ‎countries for its new Global ‎Injection Safety Initiative.‎

WHO highlights the urgent need for countries to enhance action to prevent viral hepatitis infection and to ensure that people who have been infected are diagnosed and offered treatment. The Organization is alerting people to the risks of contracting hepatitis from unsafe blood, unsafe injections, and sharing drug-injection equipment. Some 11 million people who inject drugs have hepatitis B or C infection. Children born to mothers with hepatitis B or C and sex partners of people with hepatitis are also at risk of becoming infected.

WHO also emphasizes the need for all health services to reduce risks by using only sterile equipment for injections and other medical procedures, to test all donated blood and blood components for hepatitis B and C (as well as HIV and syphilis) and to promote the use of the hepatitis B vaccine. Safer sex practices, including minimizing the number of partners and using barrier protective measures (condoms), also protect against transmission.

Earlier this year, WHO issued new guidelines for treatment of hepatitis B infection. These recommend using simple non-invasive tests to assess the stage of liver disease to help identify who needs treatment. WHO also calls for prioritizing treatment for those with cirrhosis – the most advanced stage of liver disease and for the use of two safe and highly effective medicines, TENOFOVIR or ENTECAVIR.

In September this year, countries will have the opportunity to share best practice at the first-ever World Hepatitis Summit to be held in Glasgow, Scotland. The summit, which is co-sponsored by WHO, the Scottish Government and the World Hepatitis Alliance, aims to raise the global profile of viral hepatitis, to create a platform for exchange of country experiences and to focus on working with countries to develop national action plans.

A new paper jointly released by the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) and the Education for All Global Monitoring Report (EFA GMR), shows that the number of children and adolescents out of school is on the rise, reaching 124 million in 2013. While international aid to education increased slightly in 2013, it is still below 2010 levels and grossly insufficient to meet new education targets to achieve universal primary and secondary education.

New UIS data show that one in eleven children is out of school, totaling 59 million children in 2013, a growth of 2.4 million since 2010. Of these, 30 million live in sub-Saharan Africa while 10 million are in South and West Asia.

In the past two years, since I started my PhD studies, my research has focused on osteoporosis and how modifiable exercise programs can prevent or slow down its progression. A requirement for PhD, before starting the actual thesis phase, is writing a literature review. Rading a high volume of research articles (up to 400-500) for a critical synthesis of literature would be the most daunting part. However, the review of literature helps the students to identify the strengths, weaknesses and gaps in previous work related to their own topic as a base.

Being at this stage, I read about osteoporosis from different angles to learn about facts, myths and contradictions.

To me, it has been very interesting to read about osteoporosis and how sex and gender differences attributed to bone structure can be addressed through a feminism lens.
